Communal fire doors in Tewkesbury

Our Tewkesbury supply and fit service

We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Tewkesbury and the rest of Gloucestershire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

We cover GL20 and the surrounding area, including Cheltenham. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.

Questions about communal fire doors in Tewkesbury

Can you fit just one door in Tewkesbury?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Gloucestershire.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Tewkesbury?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Tewkesbury.

How often should communal fire doors be checked?

In England, regulation 10 requires at least three-monthly checks in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres. Good practice is regular checks in all buildings.
